Norwich Park and Ride is a park & ride bus service in the English city of Norwich, East Anglia. The first of the park and rides was opened in the early 1990s at Norwich Airport in Hellesdon,[1] while the sixth (and currently final) site was opened in Thickthorn in 2005.[2] With the addition of the final site, the Norwich Park & Ride became the largest park and ride services in the United Kingdom,[3] and provided the scheme with over 5,000 permanent parking spaces – at the time the highest number for a park and ride scheme in the country.[2] The scheme was awarded the British Parking Association Park and Ride award in 2004,[3] and in the 2006/2007 financial year, 3.3 million people used the service, keeping 940,000 cars out of the city centre.[4]
